Bristle Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 You usually have to pay for electricity and gas so need to set up accounts with each (if applicable). You also pay for water usage only with the landlord responsible for any standing charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumbeat Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The landlord pays council rates and water rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to get an idea if we can survive on one wage l You can take a look at this though I think some of the figures are far too high e.g. gas and electricity @ $500 per month Surely not. https://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/perth-australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The water usage bill on our investment property is sent to the property manager while the rates bill comes to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
